Subject: Take Time 2 Run through the Rain

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target.  She must have been 6 
years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence.  It was 
pouring outside.  The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so 
much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all 
stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target. 

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their 
hurried day.  I am always mesmerized by rainfall.  I got lost in the sound and 
sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.  Memories of 
running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve 
from the worries of my day. 
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all 
caught in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. 

"What?" Mom asked. 

"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. 

"No, honey.  We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. 

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run 
through the rain," 

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. 

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said 
as she tugged at her Mom's arm. 

This morning?  When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet? 

"Don't you remember?  When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you 
said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" 

The entire crowd stopped dead silent.  I swear you couldn't hear anything but 
the rain.  We all stood silently.  No one came or left in the next few minutes. 

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.  Now some would 
laugh it off and scold her for being silly.  Some might even ignore what was 
said.  But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life.  A time 
when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. 

"Honey, you are absolutely right.  Let's run through the rain.  If GOD let's us 
get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. 

Then off they ran.  We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted 
past the cars and yes, through the puddles.  They held their shopping bags over 
their heads just in case.  They got soaked.  But they were followed by a few 
who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. 

And yes, I did.  I ran.  I got wet.  I needed washing. 

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take 
away your money, and they can take away your health.  But no one can ever take 
away your precious memories.  So, don't forget to make time and take the 
opportunities to make memories everyday.  To everything there is a season and a 
time to every purpose under heaven. 

I hope you take the time to run through the rain.

Subject: [dream-flow] Take Time 2 Run through the Rain

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target.  She must have been 6 
years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence.  It was 
pouring outside.  The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so 
much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all 
stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target. 

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their 
hurried day.  I am always mesmerized by rainfall.  I got lost in the sound and 
sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.  Memories of 
running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve 
from the worries of my day. 
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all 
caught in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. 

"What?" Mom asked. 

"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. 

"No, honey.  We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. 

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run 
through the rain," 

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. 

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said 
as she tugged at her Mom's arm. 

This morning?  When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet? 

"Don't you remember?  When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you 
said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" 

The entire crowd stopped dead silent.  I swear you couldn't hear anything but 
the rain.  We all stood silently.  No one came or left in the next few minutes. 

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.  Now some would 
laugh it off and scold her for being silly.  Some might even ignore what was 
said.  But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life.  A time 
when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. 

"Honey, you are absolutely right.  Let's run through the rain.  If GOD let's us 
get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. 

Then off they ran.  We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted 
past the cars and yes, through the puddles.  They held their shopping bags over 
their heads just in case.  They got soaked.  But they were followed by a few 
who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. 

And yes, I did.  I ran.  I got wet.  I needed washing. 

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take 
away your money, and they can take away your health.  But no one can ever take 
away your precious memories.  So, don't forget to make time and take the 
opportunities to make memories everyday.  To everything there is a season and a 
time to every purpose under heaven. 

I hope you take the time to run through the rain.

Subject: [dream-flow] Take Time 2 Run through the Rain
 
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target.  She must have
been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of
innocence.  It was pouring outside.  The kind of rain that gushes over
the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no
time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and
just inside the door of the Target. 

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up
their hurried day.  I am always mesmerized by rainfall.  I got lost in
the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the
world.  Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came
pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. 
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were
all caught in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. 

"What?" Mom asked. 

"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. 

"No, honey.  We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. 

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's
run through the rain," 

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. 

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young
girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm. 

This morning?  When did I say we could run through the rain and not get
wet? 

"Don't you remember?  When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer,
you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through
anything!" 

The entire crowd stopped dead silent.  I swear you couldn't hear
anything but the rain.  We all stood silently.  No one came or left in
the next few minutes. 

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.  Now some
would laugh it off and scold her for being silly.  Some might even
ignore what was said.  But this was a moment of affirmation in a young
child's life.  A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it
will bloom into faith. 

"Honey, you are absolutely right.  Let's run through the rain.  If GOD
let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. 

Then off they ran.  We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they
darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles.  They held their
shopping bags over their heads just in case.  They got soaked.  But they
were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the
way to their cars. 

And yes, I did.  I ran.  I got wet.  I needed washing. 

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they
can take away your money, and they can take away your health.  But no
one can ever take away your precious memories.  So, don't forget to make
time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday.  To
everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. 

I hope you take the time to run through the rain.
